    I've usually only bought OEM parts. What do you guys think about aftermarket/3rd party CV axles?

    Looks good, you'll have to update us when you change your oil next and show us how much it caught.

    I find when you are reasonable but firm when you have product or service problems things work out. And you're being very reasonable you just want a undamaged tent (like you ordered).
    Lets see if they are responsible and reasonable with their customer service.

    Totally hit or miss. Some have good luck, some people tear a boot 10 ft out the driveway or get bad clunking.

    Had to anti-mouse my truck. Removed the cowl screen for the windshield install today and found an unoccupied nest on top of the cabin air filter. When I had replaced that filter 2 months ago that nest wasn't there.
    Glassman also made me remove the snorkel for the windshield install:rolleyes::annoyed:

    No it's about the same. I did it because I have no inner liners and the stock intake was picking up water and debris during the PNW winters.

    Be Safe...

    Do you have any details on where you sourced that cowl for your intake? I like that alot better than the firewall route alot of people are taking. I'm assuming it's an OEM part from something? Did a quick search in your build thread but didn't find it (but I also just searched the thread for "intake")

    I have similar one and check it about once a month. It's usually around 1/4 or so full.

    Played hookie from work this afternoon. Changed the cabin and engine airfilters, oil and filter, flushed the power steering and of course fresh wiperblades. Next up will be the throttle body, MAF sensor and drain and fill the radiator20210311_143238.jpg

    As far as what I wrote, both suspension spacer lifts and body lifts will accomplish what I previously wrote, but to answer your question I was writing about suspension spacer lifts in that post. Btw never ever write about body lifts on TW unless you want drama that you didn't ask for and completely uneducated opinions that you didn't ask for, including drama and uneducated opinions from some really intelligent people.

    Do you dispose of this oil? Or does it go back in to the engine?
